About Homeless Children’s Network
Homeless Children's Network (HCN) works to address two needs: first, the traumatic effects of homelessness and violence in the lives of young children and their families; and second, to establish a “standard of care” across a variety of shelters and housing programs. Working directly with the community, we help children and families address the root traumas that helped shape their worldviews, explore healthier perspectives, and learn practical non-violent skill sets for managing stress. We do this through comprehensive mental health services, case management, family education and support services, and community leadership.
About the Ma’at Program
The Ma'at Program is a supportive holistic therapeutic community, in which we center and work with African American/Black Families in San Francisco. Ma’at is focused on seven cardinal virtues: balance, order, righteousness, harmony, justice, truth, and reciprocity. Through these values, we provide individual and family therapy, mobile community outreach, culturally-based referrals, and community organizing and advocacy. Ma'at is a healing community based on Afri-Centric and culturally opulent principles.
